Len, don't take this the wrong way, but that's a *hideous* kludge!
I don't understand why EMC feels the need to invade the body of a
message with a tagline that should properly be part of the header (if it
exists at all).
I don't have any compunctions about simply denying list service to users
who can't produce a simple, correctly-formatted subscription request or
list message that doesn't contain extraneous crud (such as this tagline
or the MIME application/ms-tnef crud). There are alternatives out
there; unfortunately Prodigy chose unwisely in picking an Internet mail
client. The market will sort this out, for sure.
